Critical For Preventing Heart Disease

The stark statistics tell the story. Eighty-one million American adults have cardiovascular disease (CVD)—one in three. Every year, nearly one million people with CVD have their first heart attack. Of those, 141 thousand die. In fact, CVD is the leading cause of death in the US, accounting for 36 percent of all deaths. If all forms of CVD were prevented, Americans would live an average of seven more years.

Imagine for a moment a “miracle molecule” that could dramatically improve your cardiovascular health—if you could increase the amount of the molecule in your body. This molecule is nitric oxide (NO) because it can:

• prevent high blood pressure (hypertension), a disease that damages your heart, brain, and kidneys
• keep your arteries young and flexible
• prevent, slow, or reverse the buildup of
• artery-clogging arterial plaques
• help stop the formation of artery-clogging blood clots—the result of plaques bursting and spilling their contents into the blood stream
• lower cholesterol

By doing all of the above, NO can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, the #1 and #3 killers of Americans. But this molecule has more miracles to perform. It can also:

• reduce the risk of diabetes and disastrous diabetic complications, such as chronic kidney disease, blindness, hard-to- heal foot and leg ulcers, and amputations
• limit the swelling and pain of arthritis, and boost the power of pain-relieving drugs
• reverse erectile dysfunction (ED)
• calm the choking inflammation of asthma
• protect your bones from osteoporosis
• help provide the mood-lifting power behind antidepressant medications
• assist the immune system in killing bacteria
• limit skin damage from the sun

“There may be no disease process where this miracle molecule does not have a protective role,” we were told by Louis J. Ignarro, PhD, a 1998 Nobel Laureate.
